Beth Lipman

Beth Lipman’s work considers personal and greater environments, inner life, and humanity’s lasting impacts on the earth. Making in the still-life tradition, which often focuses on themes of mortality, symbolism, cultural values, and the passage of time, Lipman uses materials ranging from glass, wood, and metal to photographs and moving images. Her site-responsive installations investigate the histories of specific objects, individuals, and institutions. During her talk, she will share some of these projects as part of her practice of creating ephemeral and intricate works that explore diverse concepts.  

A Q&A follows the program.
